• Investigation indicates that Mind Break is already tagged correctly to interact with Telepathic Reverberation, so any problems there are the result of something else going wrong and would require additional investigation. Congress of Selves is built in an unusual fashion and will require additional work. I wanted to get…

• Currently making some tweaks to Telepathic Reverberation, which should increase its range to 100 ft. and may also help it to work correctly with powers that Confuse enemies, plus attach it to Mental Leech, Shadow of Doubt, and Mental Storm.

• Have a possible fix that I'm gonna test later today.

• It looks like a refresh issue that's a little tricky. This will probably need a little digging to sort out, as the fix that I think might work is a big enough change that it may have other unforeseen problems.

• Just as a quick peek under the hood, repel is not a tag, it's a different power attribute. In general, Repel is much narrower in application; a Repel just pushes a character, while Knock can also knock someone over and can interrupt powers. Power Resist is generally added on a case-by-case basis. So, adding Repel Resist to…

• I took a quick look at this and some of the powers listed in the OP definitely have data to apply a knock resist; for instance, Chest Beam is flagged to give knock resist when it knocks you. Similarly, I looked at the Vile Lariat power, and it looks like it's built to provide knock resist. Here is a breakdown of what the…
